Default Shift Linkage Not Right?

Ok I just swapped in my old b16a that I had in my 93 coupe that I wrecked along with the tranny. Built the engine, etc. nd got everything hooked up nd running right. I bought a 94-01 teg 92-00 avid shift linkage for b series saps from NOPIonline.com and when we installed the shifter didn't sit right at all. 2nd sits almost wear nuetral is suppose to be and it acts as if the shift linkage isn't long enough......which in my case, it takes 30 minutes to get it into 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear. 2nd and 4th gear work perfect, its just the top gears it doesn't want to go into to. I was thinking that the shift linkage isn't long enough for some odd reason, but....there is that slight chance the tranny was damaged in my wreck, but wouldn't that only damage the gear it was in? and if it damaged more wouldn't i have SOME trouble with 2nd and 4th? it will go into 5th but after about 45 seconds to a minute it kicks it out. Anybody have any ideas? Could the shift linkage be upside down? Any help would be AWESOME!!!
